Panelists discuss how PSMA PET imaging plays a crucial role in detecting biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer, offering superior sensitivity and specificity compared with conventional imaging methods. In clinical practice, PSMA PET is typically ordered when there is a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels post treatment, indicating potential recurrence. The imaging results significantly influence treatment decisions such as distinguishing between localized salvage therapy and systemic treatments. Pivotal trials have demonstrated the efficacy of various tracers.
